The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This crucial component is responsible for circulating cool air throughout the refrigerator's evaporator coils, ensuring proper cooling and temperature regulation.
A faulty evaporator fan motor can be caused by various factors. Over time, the motor may experience wear and tear, leading to decreased performance or complete failure. Additionally, the accumulation of dust, debris, or ice on the fan blades can hinder its rotation and impact its functionality.
Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor may include:
- Inadequate cooling or inconsistent temperature inside the refrigerator.
- Unusual noises coming from the freezer or refrigerator compartment.
- The fan not spinning or operating at a slower speed than usual.
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The most time consuming part was taking all the compartments apart to get to the affected area.
